One Redditor summed it up. They wrote, “I don’t like how he sounds here. He sounds very self-centered and not willing to compromise. This could be foreshadowing an end.”

They added, “I hope Kelsey finds what makes her happy and successful whether it’s in LA with Joey or elsewhere alone.” Others agreed that Joey’s behavior would eventually doom their relationship.

  • “They’re moving to LA because he prefers it but he’s also planning on going on tour for a period of time? Run Kelsey run.”
  • “he’s been going through the motions with Kelsey for a while. He clearly wants to pursue his own calling. I clocked this last year… the main thing they lacked is similar visions.”
  • “Mmmmmm I don’t think this will end well”
  • “I’m calling it now, they’re not making it to the altar lol”
  • “Joey is very Joey oriented hmm”
  • “I liked them together but this definitely sheds some light on him being very “me me me” especially when discussing his hobbies…”
  • “If Joey does the DWTS tour then I hope Kelsey takes that time to live in and explore NYC for a bit. Just so she can have a better idea of what she wants going forward.”
